4 Introduction SELECT SERIES 70 Installer and Builder Information Always provide a copy of these instructions for the current or future building owner. Warnings: Read before Installing! If you do not have the experience necessary to accurately follow the procedures explained in this guide, contact an experienced contractor. Every wall assembly and installation is different. Please consult your windows supplier, contractor, architect or structural engineer prior to the product installation. Ventana USA accepts no responsibility for the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Ventana tilt/turn windows and swing doors.. Unless specifically ordered, Ventana USA windows and doors are not glazed with tempered glass and if broken, could shatter causing injury. Many laws and building codes require tempered glass in locations adjacent to or near doors. Ventana USA windows and doors are available with tempered glass that may reduce the likelihood of injury when broken. Laminated tempered glass is not standard; it is a specialorder item. Check local building codes. Do not apply any type of film to glass. Thermal stress conditions resulting in glass damage could occur. Metal fasteners and other hardware components may corrode when exposed to preservative treated lumber. Obtain and use the appropriate metal fasteners and hardware. Failure to use the appropriate materials for the installation may cause a failure resulting in injury, property or product damage. Follow instructions from sealant and flashing manufacturers regarding material application and compatibility with this product. Do not carry unit horizontally, exterior side down. Panels may swing open causing product damage and/or severe injury. Plan sizing of rough opening and clearance from exterior finishing systems to allow for normal materials shrinkage or shifting (e.g. wood structure with brick veneer; allow adequate clearance at sill). Refer to the technical installation requirements in this guide for technical specifications regarding the installation of this product. These installation requirements as well as the details in this section must be followed to achieve the advertised design pressure (DP) rating of this product. It is the responsibility of the builder, installer and subcontractors to protect the interior and exterior of windows or doors from contact with harsh chemical washes, construction material contamination and moisture. Damage to glazing, hardware, weather strip and cladding/ wood can occur. Protect with painters tape and/or protective sheathing as required. Follow all guidelines regarding material use, preparation, personal safety and disposal. 4

9 Operation and Maintenance In order to maintain the operability of your window and to ensure security, it is extremely important that these precautions be observed: Do not subject the sash to additional loads. Do not leave sashes open in the turn mode during strong winds. Do not place any objects between the sash and the frame. Do not allow the sash to hit or to press up against the window reveal. Risk of Injury! There is a risk of injury by catching one's finger or other body parts in the opening gap. While closing, do not grab between the sash and the frame. Risk of Injury! Where children or other endangered persons have access to the window, the sash is to be safeguarded against turning. Install a child safety lock or a key-lockable handle. 9

10 Operation and Maintenance To maintain smooth operation of the hardware and protect against premature wear and tear, greasing and oiling* of all operation-relevant components in the sash and frame must be done at least once a year. In addition, the individual screws must be checked. Possible loose screws or broken off screw heads must be replaced immediately. The hardware may be cleaned only with a soft cloth and a mild ph-neutral cleaning agent in a diluted form. Never use aggressive, acid cleaning agents or abrasive cleaning agents because they can permanently damage the hardware. *Use only acid free and non-resinous grease and/or oil! 10

11 Hinge Adjustments Adjustment of Sash All buildings move. If movement is excessive, windows and doors may need to be adjusted to open properly. Sash should overlap frame by.315" (8 mm). To check overlap, close window and mark position of sash in all four corners. Open window and check for correct overlap. Adjust if necessary.

14 Glazing Details How to insert the glazing beads: With glazing beads cut to mitre fix first the shorter and then the longer glazing beads. Use a plastic or rubber hammer. Tap lightly. How to remove the glazing beads: You can remove glazing beads using a sharp putty knife. Start in the center with the longer glazing beads, then proceed to the shorter ones. Place the putty knife between the glazing bead rebate bottom and the lower edge of the glazing bead and lift it. Repeat the same procedure at short intervals until you can remove it by hand.

15 Glazing Details Blocking guidelines Function of the blocks: 1. Weight distribution of the glass pane to the sash-frame 2. Lasting adjustment of the sash-frame 3. Guarantees passability of the sash 4. Prevents the possibility of direct contact between the pane and the sash-frame 5. Ventilation possibility Block Material: Bearing blocks, spacing blocks, glazing blocks and glazing rebate inserts as well as wedges must be of such a quality that they resist rotting. Their form should not be altered by stress-load. Plastic (e.g. hard PVC) glazing blocks and wedges have proved themselves acceptable. Fixing the glazing blocks: The glazing rebate inserts bridge the 3 mm height difference between the base of the glazing rebate and the upper edge of the glass bead receptor. Hereby blocking allows for an optimal hold of the pane from behind. By bending up the ends of the glazing rebate inserts (2.5 mm), it prevents the slipping of the glazing blocks that lie upon it both during and after assembly. The glazing blocks should be 100 mm long and, in general, a minimum of 2 mm wider than the glass. All glazing rebate inserts as well as glazing blocks should be permanently secured against slipping; this can be achieved with silicone. Slipped blocks lose their function and hinder other functions: the sash can no longer be optimally opened or closed or the block is in front of the drainage block. After blocking the glass pane (see blocking guidelines) the glass beads must be inserted. Guidelines for the insertion of glazing packers Position of the glazing packers A. Distance between the packers and the corner is ca. 100 mm B. Padding length (load bearing part) 100 mm C. Maximum distance between the hinge and the corner is 100 mm D. Sash profile E. Hinge F.

18 Glazing Details Blocking procedure: Begin blocking by laying the block down horizontally on the glazing rebate insert. The block thickness should total 6 mm (3 mm glazing rebate bridge + 3 mm block). The glass pane is set on the bottom blocks and carefully tilted into the frame. To avoid damaging the glass edges, special attention must be paid to the glazing rebate space around the mechanical couplers. The danger of glass breaking due to inward swinging of the pane is especially high when inserting couplers at the top. Here the use of appropriate spacing blocks is recommended. It must be carried out with special care. 3 Danger of glass breaking Glazing 3 Mechanical coupler Frame, sash, latch plate or false mullion within sash Copyright VEKA AG Technical specifications subject to change without notice 18
